Scripps is in California, isn't it?  We're lucky the pier's not on fire!
(there are currently big fires in California, though not near Scripps pier
as far as I know.  Fires killed 91 people in Greece, fires in Siberia.)
NOAA says that 2017 was the third hottest year on record and the long term
warming trend continues: ihttp://
www.noaa.gov/news/noaa-2017-was-3rd-warmest-year-on-record-for-globe
(what"?  No hiatus??)  And NASA says that it was the 2nd hottest year on
record:
https://earthobservatory.nasa.gov/images/91604/2017-was-the-second-hottest-year-on-record
(slightly different data set).

Nothing to see here, folks, move along!  Pay no attention.  Snowball in
Congress proved there is no global warming.  Enjoy your oil stock
dividends, use of fossil fuels is rising!

It is sometimes said that if you put a frog in a pot of hot water it will
jump out immediately.  If you put one in a pot of cool water and warm it
slowly, it won't jump out.

Some say:

The world is losing the war against climate change

Will this be helpful for reefs?

   Cheers, Doug

How Did the Climate Apocalypse Become Old News?

By getting serious about limiting global warming, the world could save
itself more than $20 trillion.  (action would cost only a half trillion
over 30 years, a third the cost of the Iraq war, benefits would be 40 times
costs, that's a huge return on investment)

Large potential reduction in economic damages under UN mitigation targets
(and 30% loss of world economy if the climate is allowed to warm by 4oC)
